They have lost some of the edgy pre dr Feelgood the band needs to write as a unit to regather that motley sound, vince neil solo records were stronger releases. nikki has to share the song writing duties as vince showed us with his solo releases being a lot better than the motley releases, motley crue, pearls of swine and new tatoo and even this saints of LA is not as good as Exposed vince 1st solo release,

SO Nikki let the other guys write some songs

I grew up on Crue. The first live concert I ever went to was Crue (Feelgood) … I’ve listed to Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil (albums) more times than I could ever count … Everything after Feelgood sucked. I’m sure most fans would agree.

BUT … this album rocks!! It kicks hard with no ballads at all … this is heavy album like their earlier stuff …

It doesn’t have the “party” sound that Theatre of Pain or Girls, Girls, Girls, had … well Down at the Whisky maybe …

The first couple of tracks sound a little recycled … but Down at the Whisky onwards rock … the riffs sound like old school Mick Mars …. I disagree with the reviewer .. Mf of the Year is great !

Highlights:

Saints of Los Angeles
MF of the Year
The Animal in Me
Welcome to the Machine
Just Another Psycho

Brendon,

Good point. Thanks for plugging that in. Even when you do research on the limited amount of time you have with a CD sometimes you don’t catch everything. But even with that in mind the lyrics are still hard to take seriously. It’s not only Motley Crue who suffer from that… if Green Day was singing about the same thing we’d feel the same. But reminiscing about the past and singing about that does add a different perspective. Then again if the Crue were singing about how rich they were, like hip-hop artists, it might sound too arrogant rather than a band trying too hard to prove they were still relevant. Guess no one can win in that scenario. But, they have always sang about all the girls they get/got and we were jealous–and still dug it.

The songs are soundtracks to The Dirt, so Face Down in the Dirt isn’t about what they’re doing now, so you’re references about Nikki Sixx being president of a label and that band are rich are irrelevant.
